Articles about Naren Tamhane


Profile:

The finest Indian wicketkeeper in the era between Probir Sen and Farokh Engineer, Naren Tamhane was neat and sound in his work behind the stumps. Agile and alert, little missed Tamhane's quick eye and reflexes. He was equally adept while keeping to pace and spin and displayed fine anticipation while bringing off diving catches or smart stumpings. However he was not flashy and concentrated on being safe and dependable. While still a student in Bombay, he was picked for two `Tests' against the SJOC team in 1953-54 and immediately made an impact by catching three and stumping four in his first game at New Delhi. On his Test debut in Pakistan the following season, Tamhane claimed five victims. He played in all five Tests, finishing with 19 dismissals. He was the first choice wicketkeeper for the country till the series against Pakistan in 1960-61 when he lost his place to Budhi Kunderan, a better batsman but not in the same class as Tamhane behind the stumps. He played against New Zealand in 1955-56, against Australia in 1956-57, against West Indies in 1958-59 and against Australia in 1959-60. He also toured England in 1959 when in first class matches he had 49 dismissals.

A more than useful batsman, Tamhane scored a valuable unbeaten 54 (top score) at No 9 in his second Test match at Bahawalpur. Coming in when seven wickets had fallen for 107 and with Fazal Mahmood and Khan Mohammed on the rampage, he helped India to get to 235. On his debut in the Ranji Trophy in 1953-54 against Baroda, Tamhane accounted for seven victims, six of them caught. In a first class career that stretched for almost two decades, Tamhane had 253 dismissals, 175 of them caught. His career highest score was 109 not out against Baroda in 1958-59.(Partab Ramchand)
